One fourth of a number is 3 more than one fifth its successor find the number

$bold{\underline{Answer-}}$

According to the question we know that one fourth of a number is 3 more than one fifth it's successor.

Now, let the number be x

so, one fourth of the number is $\frac{x}{4}$

or one fifth of the number is $\frac{x}{5}$

Then,

$\frac{x}{4} - \frac{x}{5}$ = 3

$\frac{5x - 4x}{20}$ = 3

x = 64

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 6y = 12

Insert 0 for y

2x - 6(0) = 12

Simplify

2x = 12

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 6

x - int = 6

Use original equation and insert 0 for x this time

2(0) - 6y = 12

Simplify

- 6y = 12

Divide by -6 on both sides

y = -2

y - int = -2
